When To Get 2018 Ford GT Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2018 Ford GT, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your GT feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Ford GT in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your GT suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GT steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Ford GT Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Ford GT suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your GT’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Ford GT shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Ford GT’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 GT Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Ford's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Ford GT? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Ford intended.
  • When should I have my Ford GT power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Ford's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Ford GT bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GT to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my GT's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GT's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Ford GT are bad? Worn GT shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your GT might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your GT shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
